Fourth of July Notes

The Fourth of July celebration Execu-
tive Committee met at the Courthouse last
evening, and received reports from the va
rious subcommittee. The meeting was
not largely attended, and owing to the fact
that nearly all the arrangements for the
celebration have been completed, there was
but little of interest in the proceedings.
The Literary Committee reported that
they had performed all the duties assigned
them, except the selection of reader.
They were granted further time.
Grand Marshal Elwood Bruner is work
ing theoretically for the success of the Gel
ebration, especially that portion of 1.-THE
grand parade-which comes under his
special supervision. He reports having Sc
lected large number of aids, all of whom
have accepted and signifed their willing
ness to do whatever lies in their power to
make this the grandest and most imposing
and patriotic observance of the natal day
ever observed in the Capital City. From
what he could learn, the committees were
doing excellent work, and the celebration
would be representative of Sacramento
loyalty and the patriotic spirit of her citi-
zens, which ever came to the front when
occasion required. The Secretary, Mr..
Beardslee was directed to confer with the
bly, chamber is put in readiness for the lit
erary exercises. The meeting adjourned to
meet at the same place on Wednesday
evening next.
